Hawk the Slayer
How is this not Gauntlet: The Game: The Movie? Believe it or not this movie is supposedly getting a sequel. I really can’t fathom why though.
Same style as Conan the Barbarian, same effects as Excalibur. I particularly like the “lightning fast” archer effects, where they just cut out the pieces of film showing him reloading. The glowing pommel is a nice touch but unfortunately gives your enemies a target and/or reference point to better defend your attacks.
Motorcycle Ninjas! Mullets! Cocaine Drug Lords! Synth Rock Band Ninjas! Slow motion karate kicks to the face! Dragon Sound! Pop songs about friendships and loyalty!
MIAMI CONNECTION screens @ The Cinematheque, April 5-8. Get ready.
